Celebration, FL (PRWEB) November 7, 2010

OneRes, a multi-cultural independent real estate franchise organization based in Celebration, Florida, officially announces its launch at the National Association of Realtors in New Orleans, LA this week. OneRes was founded by former real estate franchisees, former Fortune 500 company executives, residential and commercial developers.

OneRes leadership consists of African American, Asian, Hispanic and Caucasian ethnicities and represents the diversity of America. Corporate Directors are Eric Waddell, President/CEO, Edie Waddell, VP of Franchise Relations, Joe La Rosa, Chief Executive Consultant, Mike La Rosa, VP of Business Development, Ana Alvarez, VP of Recruiting and Carmen Chong, VP of Education.

From Celebration, Florida, Eric Waddell, President and CEO of OneRes said, “The Company was formed because there is a definite need for small to medium sized real estate brokerages to have affordable access to business support in the areas of education, training and technology.

The current economic conditions and the real estate and financial market collapse had a greater impact on small to medium size real estate brokerages, driving income down and many out of business causing a call to action and thus OneRes was created.” With a focus on providing education, training, and collaborating with franchisees on community outreach initiatives, the OneRes brand is a proponent of interconnecting awareness and effectively servicing outreach initiatives that have an immediate impact on improving our communities. OneRes expects a high level of growth within the next 12 months.

OneRes currently has branch locations in Texas, California, New York and Florida and intends to begin franchising new locations in November and December with a nationwide rollout in January 2011.
